Very nice, they are on the right track. Guys who bought '12s don't be bummed you didn't wait. All this little stuff is easily fixed except for the steering radius and that is an issue only in the garage. I have not had any plastic problems, and I've done some bushwhacking and crashed pretty good once too. Mount your shrouds properly (bolts), and ride the crap out of the bike. When the plastic gets beat up then get the '13 stuff.
I agree on the manuals and info in general, it has always been that way with GG. After owning the first one it doesn't matter but it needs to be there for new owners.
The sprocket side spacer is typical soft alloy like a KTM spacer or those on most Jap bikes. This started in '07 when they changed the hub design, the old spacers were steel. Personally I'd add shifters to that list, they wear out too fast.
So, support your dealers and your importer! If you want one go get one and ride!
